Volcanic Explosions
Kibo and Mawenzi's activity is substantially more recent, with eruptions beginning around one million years ago. Kibo and Mawenzi are separated by a plateau known as the Saddle, which has an elevation of around 14,400 feet. Kibo's rocky peaks also contain several fascinating features, such as secondary summits, ridges, and pinnacles formed by eroding and natural factors like as wind and rain.
Most Recent Eruption
Kibo, the highest of Kilimanjaro's three summits, is dormant at the moment, but it may erupt again in the future. Kibo erupted approximately 150,000 to 200,000 years ago. The most recent activity formed the current Kibo summit crater. We know this because of fumaroles, which are gas-emitting breaks in the rock's crater. Reusch Crater is located within Kibo's caldera and was named after mountaineer Gustav Reusch after his 25th ascent of the summit.
